Notes
*Experiment with other fresh herbs to customize this easy compound butter recipe! For example, try rosemary + garlic scape compound butter as a finish for lamb chops. Or sprinkle in some cajun seasoning to make a cajun compound butter that could be used to add a little kick to any dish.
I used this compound butter to freshen up the last of my 2023 freezer corn
And on toasted hoagie rolls to add some extra flavor to a pork chop sandwich
And as a finishing sauce for my absolutely delicious (and 100% KY shaped) ribeye steak
